Fortunately, after a while, Xiao Qi was able to ride his horse leisurely.

It has to be said that horses, like humans, will have a greatly reduced speed when moving in soft, fine sand. There is only gravel with no foothold where the hooves step on. The horse can only move forward with its body tilted and cannot walk very fast, let alone run.

“It would be nice to have a camel to ride.”

The best means of transportation in the desert is still the camel. They have sufficient physical strength, can adapt to the environment, and can move much faster, at least better than horses.

After walking for a while, a clear sound suddenly appeared in the sky. It was a system prompt...

"Dear players, please note that a raging sandstorm is approaching. Please enter the safe zone within 10 minutes, otherwise you will be swallowed by the sandstorm!"

"Dear players, please note that a raging sandstorm is approaching. Please enter the safe zone within 10 minutes, otherwise you will be swallowed by the sandstorm!"

"Dear players, please note that a raging sandstorm is approaching. Please enter the safe zone within 10 minutes, otherwise you will be swallowed by the sandstorm!"

The prompt was broadcast three times in a row. The prompt given in scarlet font could also be seen when opening the chat interface. Xiao Qi quickly opened the map and found that a circle slightly smaller than the map suddenly appeared on the map, which just included the two buildings he had just viewed, but did not include his current self.

The first poison circle has been created!

This circle is equivalent to being drawn in the middle, with the center of the map as the dot to draw a perfect circle. Ten minutes later, the sandstorm will start to shrink inward from the edge of the map and stay at the edge of the circle.

Xiao Qi didn't know whether this poison would kill the player in one go or continuously deduct health until the player's health bar was empty, so he didn't dare to try it easily. Entering the circle first was the top priority.

Fortunately, Xiao Qi is not far from the circle, so if he rides a horse, he should be able to enter in time. The sandstorm will gradually spread inward and will not fill the external space all at once, so the time left for him is just enough. It seems that he has to move towards the center of the map later, otherwise the next time the circle shrinks, the distance will be too far and he will not be able to run through!

At the last minute of the shrinking circle, Xiao Qi stepped into the circle on time. As the circle began to shrink, hurricanes appeared on the outermost border of the map. They kept approaching the safe zone, covering the land they passed by with a layer of yellow sandstorm. Even the previously existing buildings became blurred and their original appearance could not be seen.

The market that I had just explored was buried in the yellow sand, as if it had never existed.

After a period of unnecessary sadness, Xiao Qi watched the sandstorm not far behind him stop, just outside the safety circle, not a single millimeter off. It was called a safe zone, and it was absolutely safe. Xiao Qi was amazed at the accuracy of the game, and was about to turn around and leave, but he unexpectedly found a blurry figure suddenly appeared in the sandstorm.

That's right, it was in the sandstorm! A figure was staggering outside the safe zone, in the sandstorm danger zone, and soon reached the edge, stopping a hundred meters away from Xiao Qi.

At this distance, Xiao Qi could already see the person's specific situation clearly.

He was a thin-looking man, who seemed to be in his thirties, with a haggard and withered face. He relied on his own legs to walk a path in the desert step by step. However, in the sandstorm, his footprints were soon covered by the yellow sand. The man looked at Xiao Qi nervously and was reluctant to enter the circle, obviously afraid that Xiao Qi would attack him.

This is a game where only one person can win, and the players are all hostile to each other. It is normal to have such emotions. If someone is very kind to her, Xiao Qi will suspect whether this person has other intentions.

Sensing the man's nervousness and uneasiness, and considering that he was standing in a sandstorm, Xiao Qi stepped back to keep a safe distance. The man hesitated for a long time before stumbling into the circle.

Players can see each other's ID, combat power and health bar. The man's health bar didn't drop much, only about 10%. The difficulty he just walked was probably due to the raging storm and the difficulty of walking on the sand. In this way, it can be confirmed that the sandstorm will not kill the player instantly, but will deduct blood little by little and affect the health value. In this way, he won't have to rush to escape the poison and hurry on his way later.

The man didn't say anything, and had no intention of communicating with Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi was the same. Seeing the man take out a bandage and start bandaging himself to restore blood, Xiao Qi continued to move forward without looking back. Going to the iconic building to explore for more supplies was the top priority. He still had two holes in his body that were missing equipment, so he had to fill them up quickly.

As for the man just now, his combat power is only over 5000, while I have reached +, so there is no need to take him seriously. The improvement of combat power is the improvement of comprehensive quality, with bonuses in strength, physique, and defense. Therefore, combat power is overwhelming, and skills can be ignored.

The man looked young, but his combat power was as high as 5000+. The woman didn't dare to go forward at all. She didn't see any boxes along the way, and the market was completely looted. She finally picked up a few green boxes, but the equipment inside only gave her such little combat power. How could she dare to fight with Xiao Qi...

Looking at the direction Xiao Qi left, the man who had originally planned to explore Xiao Qi's destination immediately chose to change direction and go to another place.

After a twenty-minute journey, Xiao Qi finally arrived at the marked location on the map.

From a distance, the building on the map was a bird's-eye view, but now it looked like a huge sculpture. The sculpture looked like an ancient Egyptian style, half human and half beast. Xiao Qi, who didn't know much about it, was too lazy to recall the history, geography, customs and practices at this time.

The sculpture, which is about twenty meters tall, is neither big nor small, and occupies a much larger area than the altar, but it can be seen clearly at a glance, and I don’t know if there are any supplies in this place.

Frowning, Xiao Qi dismounted and moved forward.

There were a few boxes and bandages scattered under the sculpture, and Xiao Qi took them all without hesitation.

The boxes are all green. If you don’t have the cheat code for upgrading, you will probably look down on these pieces of junk. But you can upgrade yourself. A level one equipment will become a level three equipment in your hands. If you sell it to a store, you will also get 100 points. How can you let it go?

After walking around the sculpture, Xiao Qi licked all the treasure chests around him clean, as if nothing had been refreshed here from the beginning...

Opening all the boxes and parts for upgrading gave her new supplies this time.

A card called the Satiety Gift Pack appeared in Xiao Qi's hand. According to the introduction, after using this card, one can choose any food he wants to eat, including but not limited to various stir-fried dishes and precious foods.

"nice one..."

No wonder so many people participate in the competition just to have a full meal. If you get this kind of card, you can eat whatever you want. Even if you don’t enter the game, you can’t find such an opportunity. If you waste a day, you might as well come here and eat the food you have been thinking about for a long time.

Xiao Qi put it away and continued to look at the sculpture. His efforts paid off. After a while, an abrupt object appeared in front of his eyes. It was a flower shape that was different from the overall pattern type of the sculpture. Although the overall look was old and it blended very well with the surrounding environment, it was still vaguely visible that it was not from the same school as the entire sculpture.

Xiao Qi put his hand on it with the mentality of giving it a try. Soon, a faint mechanical sound was heard, and then the sculpture slowly retreated, revealing a small path that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.

The winding path seemed to lead underground. There was almost no light inside and it was pitch black.

"Is it some mysterious treasure room?"

Facing the unknown, fear and excitement overwhelmed Xiao Qi's mind. She immediately started down the stairs, ready to explore this "new world" underground.

After he entered the tunnel, the passage behind him slowly closed, and there was no sign of any human operation. The tunnel was indeed pitch black, and Xiao Qi had to rely on the faintly glowing weapon in her hand to indicate the direction. Fortunately, after walking for a while, a faint light appeared at the end of the road. When she rushed to the place where the light came from, she was surprised to find that this was a large underground cave.
